Police Look for Vehicle that Hit Woman on Route 13

A middle-aged woman is in the hospital and police are looking for the car that struck her early Monday morning in Bristol Borough.

The woman, a resident of Pond Street in the borough, was struck on Route 13 just past Fourth Street around 3 a.m. She suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital, police said.

Sgt. Pete Faight said the striking vehicle was described by an eyewitness as dark-colored. A mirror in the street was believed to left behind by the vehicle.

The victim was with a friend, who was across the street at a gas station mini-mart, when the crash happened, police said.

Police, fire and EMS crews responded after being called to the scene.

The victim’s boot sat near the mirror in the northbound lane of Route 13 as crash investigators milled about the scene at 3:50 a.m.

The crash happened just yards from where Joseph Acevedo, 25, of Bristol, was struck and killed by a car in January 2013. In that case, the driver stopped and called police.

Fire police shut down northbound Route 13 from Bath Road to Beaver Dam Road for the investigation. A Bristol Fire Company truck assisted at the scene with lighting.

Witnesses to the crash or anyone who has information are being asked to call Faight at 215-788-7813 ext. 25.
